it was around 11000US to get it done complete parts/labour etc.

the battery was relocated to the kframe.

no power steering...i took it off before and i like it that way....using the SI tensioner pulley so i didn't have to cut the hood.

the clutch is the jdm clutch from the tranny.
i used the clutch master from the civic and i had to get some rsx clutch lines.

the radiator i used an aftermarket 92-95 EG civic rad. The problem with using this rad is that on the RSX the fan switch is located on the radiator. Thats why they recommend using the SI rad. We had to add a fan switch but i would just recommend getting the SI rad.
